[Elecraft] K-Pod function buttons not apparently working

[Peter Lock]

Good day
I am trying to use the buttons on the K-Pod to  run macros.  I have used the
K3 Utility Command tester to store the macro (in this case swt42;) and
edited the MACRO15 label to SPOT.  So a tap of the F7 button on the K-Pod
should tune the rig to the signal (CWT on, signal is close enough). I have
written the macros to the K3, and confirmed they are there by erasing them
in the macro editor, and reading them back from the K3.  Running the macro
from the Command tester works as expected.

Tapping F7 on the K-Pod gets the macro label appearing in the VFO B area and
a 'bip' from the K-Pod, but no evidence that the swt42; is being actioned;
nothing happens to the rig.

Although this is perhaps a simplistic example, it demonstrates the problem. 
I did find I was able to get the F7 button on the K-Pod to work by
programming Function 7 through the CONFIG:MACRO menu option and assigning a
tap of the SPOT button to that Function.  However, I want to go on to
control the P3 by using its macro commands (#QSY1; and #QSY0;), which as far
as I am aware, cannot be assigned through the CONFIG:MACRO options. (Testing
the #QSY1; and #QSY0; commands from the Command tester works just as I
wish).

Firmware in both the K3 and K-Pod updated today (9th July 2019).

I guess I have overlooked something simple.

Any advice would be appreciated.
